I've not been on betfair for a while but I just checked my statement for yesterday and on some correct score markets I've been charged between 5.11 and 5.33% commission. Presumably another update by them to maximise profits following the premium charge??
Pause • Switch to Standard View Betfair now charging over 5%...

The round up the pennies, so sometimes it comes out above 5% if its small numbers

It's only taken two plus years for someone else to realise what's going on.
No it doesn't have to be pence or cents, this skim has beem going on for ages and they wash it away with rounding explanation.

maas, that's what everyone says, but when you work it out manually on a spreadsheet, that's not the full extent of it!

Yes, it's now 40% or higher.

All users have to pay at least 20% commission don't they? The only way around it is if you win a few times then never come back.
